Chapter 230 - Kiss my

Out of a sudden, a snowball hit one of the Guards down here in the Castle bas.e.m.e.nt and a man from on top of the staircase yelled. "Kiss my Ignite ass!"

It isn't certain which of the residential hostages would do such a bold act, maybe one of them or maybe all since they are fed up with nonsense. But as for Fugitives, we can narrow it down to one man. Mogranius! He even gave the 4 Guards in front of the Royal Bas.e.m.e.nt door, a flash of his own behind. It was a bit easier than lifting a robe from the bottom to do such an act!

"Follow him!" Shouted one Guard as he saw the fugitive make a run for it! Three men followed and one remained here, since it is a ruling by King Tamzar himself that one Guard shall remain here at all times even if there is a situation to handle, they still honor his word since they assume that whatever is down there, can mean the possible downfall of the Snow Ignite Revolution.

Little did they know, a couple of other Fugitives have made their way down here. Waiting for such an amazing moment to strike! And what's a better way to attack, than for the enemy to have no clue what's going on? It is indeed a passive but yet unexplained attack.

At first, he just felt his throat getting heavier. Much like that feeling when one breaks into tears and each word feels heavy, but he is doing pretty good emotionally. Which can only mean that one of the fugitives is already deep in action!

The burden became a bit heavier, when pain spread all the way up to his head. It started off as a small easy to ignore headache, and built up its impact by the passing minute until he could not help but try and massage his head to relieve some if not all of the pain. He skipped his breakfast, so he is assuming that this headache developed due to the lack of food.

The effects spread down to his lungs and he started coughing lightly on the first few seconds, it became rougher by the passing second. Basing it on this rate, the fugitive doesn't plan to take a day with this attack.

After a few violent coughs, the Guard began to feel dizzy. He used the door as a way to aid his balance and took a look around to see what is going on here. Food poison, illness, unexplained death? It just doesn't make sense until he remembered one thing, the Ignites. It can't be a coincidence that these sudden effects appeared once that Ignite gave them a little flash!

He tried to yell for help, but he only felt it harder to breathe by the passing second. It felt as if, someone punctured his lung canal. The burden just hung strong near his heart, the only way to ease the burden was to take a deep breath with his mouth instead of his nose. But it wasn't good enough!

Seeing that yelling for help won't do the trick, he just abandoned his position and tried to make a run for it. But, as you might have heard. Suffocation doesn't really take long to claim a victim! After he managed to get his back off the door and dash a couple of steps away, he felt his head hitting the solid stone ground. He didn't make it, and he never will be able to.

Bittore appeared in the scene after, undoubtedly was invisible throughout this whole time and killed this Guard too. It is interesting to see an Ignite kill someone who she has considered her own until yesterday, they did cooperate after all. It just shows how easily allies can put a sword against your neck once better Circ.u.mstances are offered to them.

Once appearing she gave a small whisper. "Don't break out of your invisibility until I tell you too." Eric didn't disagree in any way, the last thing he wants is to share a same fate with the collapsed Guard. It was indeed interesting to see a Guard fall down to eternal slumber without an association of Gore.

She started blasting Fire lightly out of her palms, nothing to burn anyone down but just enough for no one to fall victim of her doing. No fireball was shot even, the fire on her palms just blasted continuously just a couple of inches high. She just waved them around randomly for a few seconds until she let out a deep sigh, apparently she has been holding her breath right after she told Eric not to appear. "You can pop out now kid."

Finally glad that this main part of the task is almost over with, he took a quick glance at the dead man close by and asked with a whisper. "What do we do with him? Permissible or not, the Guards will follow us down there if they see that he is dead. They will know that something is up."

"Guh you are right!" Sighed Bittore with a strong whisper following after. "We will have to bring him down the cave with us!"

Still not satisfied, Eric dared to take more time out of their hands and ask. "Is that really a good idea?"

"No, but it's a good way to hide a body." It is odd how she can even think about such acts considering that she killed thousands with likely the same method. But whatever works, works I suppose.

She tried to open the bas.e.m.e.nt door in front of them and found out that it was locked. Seeing that she has no time at all to open this door in less violent ways, she whispered. "So much for keeping a low profile." And took a few steps back, ready to knock the daylights out of this door.

Seeing what she is intending to do, Eric grabbed her arm and whispered. "Wait!" Seeing that he grabbed her attention, he gave out a considerably good theory. "This man could have the key. He yelled the Command and remained here after.

"Oohh. You might have a point there boy." Complimented Bittore and just when she was about to do a deep rushing search, she found out that this deceased Guard was wearing the key as a necklace, odd enough but it helps their case.

Grabbing the key, having no reason to be gentle she yanked it off and smashed the Guard's head on the stone flooring on the process but it doesn't really matter. Gently putting the key in, she thought to herself. "Please work."

A stroke of luck accompanied by a stroke of quick thinking coming from Eric as an aid, the door opened but its rusty hinges unleashed an ear shattering tone. Good enough, no one else heard it. So they grabbed the Guard with them and threw him down the wooden hatch right in the middle of the room. No one spend time hiding this hatch to the point of making it a secret entrance. Odd considering that whatever is down there can be crazy valuable.

Since the hatch reaches 30 meters down, the Guard which was tossed left a bit of a disgusting scene. Blood splattered everywhere and if the Guard was taken into further analysis such as flipping him on the other side, no human being could withstand it without making the scene even more disgusting with a puke. There is no reason to feel bad about this, the Guard was already killed!

Climbing the way down, Eric asked about a detail of which Bittore was able to predict when they were up in that Cave. "How did you know that this hatch is 30 meters deep?"

Hesitant at first, but seeing no reason to not tell him. She answered now with a louder tone since the door is locked with a key, the hatch is closed down and they are sinking deeper in. "This isn't my first time down here, however the last time i wasn't as successful."

Puzzled with such an answer and action, he asked. "Why would you need to go down here? What were you looking for?" This can turn out for the worse if her intend was masked until now, but luckily her intends don't sound devious.

"The same item we are looking for now. I had to see what it is, but I didn't want to kill anyone in the process. So I left this task for another day!" This at least shows some sympathy from her, she didn't want to kill a race who did her kind wrong just because they were helping in another way. Now at least, the goal for her is bigger and she is putting sentiment behind, she is doing it all for her kind!

To such a reply, Eric didn't know what to say and just remained quiet trying to think for an answer until it was too late. Since the topic was shifted towards another direction. "This place is more beautiful than I imagined."
